Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction is one of the commonly seen abnormalities in heart disease patients. It is most commonly associated with diabetes, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, increasing age, coronary artery disease and may even be seen in patients with normal systolic function. This study is about exercise tolerance and post exercise diastolic filling pattern in patients with resting grade-1 diastolic dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 104 patients attending outpatient section of cardiology department, Madras medical college and Rajiv Gandhi government general hospital, Chennai. Sample size was taken conveniently RESULTS The most important observation is that in group 1 subjects E/A ratio is increased and in group 2 subjects E/A ratio is decreased CONCLUSION This study highlights the functional capacity/exercise tolerance among patients with Grade-1 diastolic dysfunction at rest showed a heterogenous pattern. The post exercise transmitral Doppler changes showed divergent patterns which can aid in evaluating degree of diastolic dysfunction.
